Description
A organometallic tin compound that has been used as an Algicide and Fungicide. Tributyl tin oxide (TBTO) has been tried as a Wood preservative for brown rot fungi and insects but it was found to leave stains. TBTO has also been used to treat Algae and lichens on stone and mural paintings (Caneva et al 1991).
